- I parody of "I Will Survive" that I did with a couple of my friends for our Calculus and Physics classes.
Lyrics:
At first I was afraid, what could the answer be?
It said given this position find velocity.
So I tried to work it out, but I knew that I was wrong.
I struggled; I cried, "A problem shouldn't take this long!"
I tried to think, control my nerve.
It's evident that speed's tangential to that time-position curve.
This problem would be mine if I just knew that tangent line.
But what to do? Show me a sign!
So I thought back to Calculus.
Way back to Newton and to Leibniz,
And to problems just like this.
And just like that when I had given up all hope,
I said nope, there's just one way to find that slope.
And so now I, I will derive.
Find the derivative of x position with respect to time.
It's as easy as can be, just have to take dx/dt.
I will derive, I will derive. Hey, hey!
And then I went ahead to the second part.
But as I looked at it I wasn't sure quite how to start.
It was asking for the time at which velocity
Was at a maximum, and I was thinking "Woe is me."
But then I thought, this much I know.
I've gotta find acceleration, set it equal to zero.
Now if I only knew what the function was for a.
I guess I'm gonna have to solve for it someway.
So I thought back to Calculus.
Way back to Newton and to Leibniz,
And to problems just like this.
And just like that when I had given up all hope,
I said nope, there's just one way to find that slope.
And so now I, I will derive.
Find the derivative of velocity with respect to time.
It's as easy as can be, just have to take dv/dt.
I will derive, I will derive.
So I thought back to Calculus.
Way back to Newton and to Leibniz,
And to problems just like this.
And just like that when I had given up all hope,
I said nope, there's just one way to find that slope.
And so now I, I will derive.
Find the derivative of x position with respect to time.
It's as easy as can be, just have to take dx/dt.
I will derive, I will derive, I will derive!

I am just a constant, nobody loves me.
He is just a constant, might as well call him C!
Just don't drink and derive.
Well , guess that's the funniest think I have sawn on the internet , might Aswell quit it here
tsg1zzn it is differentiate, not derive
It's still correct, he is deriving the answer using differentiation

If this was a class project, this better have gotten an A+
More like a +C

How did you guys integrate all those math references into one song? I thought there was a limit.
Well, it just converged all together. It's sad that there is no series to this.
The amount of maths references to the amount of lines in the song are very similar, resulting in a very small common ratio. So no matter how far you push the limit, the amount of sequels to the series always converges back to 0.
It was a series of derivative epiphanies.
Fuck this, im not old enough
I guess the function converges, so there is no limit :)
its ridiculous how well this video stands up to time. it could have been made today in a faux retro style. beautiful. art.
This is faux retro style even for 2008

Just like Calculus, video stands up to time. This is pretty normal, lol.
I should be studying for the AP exam but im watching this fucking video again
+The Jiggy Llama good luck bro
The Jiggy Llama literally me right now
Same!!!!
Hey....me too!
which is why I am going to do the entire Khan Academy calc course before I take AP calc BC next year.
This will forever permanently hold a spot in my head
@@Asterism_Desmos EXACTLY
I hope it doesn't this song will be a good way for me to remember what to do in my A levels
I just have to say, I emailed this video to my math professor and he enjoyed it so much that he watched it several more times and doing so made him late to his Calc II lecture. I think that qualifies as irony...
Love the video.
15 years later and it’s still a great song
I want to like but its at 314 likes right now
That guy with orange polo is so calculus.
wow
trueee
very true
I think this might be the most impactful math parody on RUclips
I concur
Every calculus student needs to watch this. Thanks to my calc professor for ahowing us this!
the class next door was listening to this loudly during our calculus exam.
14 years later and yet it still holds up so well
It’s still stuck in my head by which I mean it’s deriving me crazy.
now is the moment, 5 years later, when I realize I can finally watch this and actually understand it... and bask in its full glory.
Can't believe this video is 12 years old. I was 6 years old and now I'm at university. It popped in my head a few days ago from math class and I had to find it. Truly fantastic.
Not only are the lyrics accurate, well thought out, and abjectly *hilarious*, but the video is extremely well acted and edited as well! This is my new favorite math video on RUclips! I can't believe you guys did this in high school! [5/5]
Ok...can I just say, I'm 49 and will be taking calculus this fall (I'm in TRIG now) and I was like 17 when I will Survive came out. But you, you have done an incredible video. I hope I'll have that talent when I get my deriving license.
Awesome video...a favorite.
Got it yet? :D
Bro you could have a math phd now we need an update lol
this is your theme song
I found elements of trig to be much harder than most calculus
come back! we have many questions
16 years later and this song is still amazing. I'm using this as background music while I study. It's crazy to think this video was uploaded 2 months after I was born!
It's that time of year now, folks. Time to watch this instead of studying for the AP exam.
I should be studying but here I am
+Nicolee 찬백 same good luck tomorrow
Mattie S You too
this is studying
Same
this counts as revision
2021, I remember I found this video in 2014, when I was facing a hard time with Calculus at my degree in Engineering. At first it was funny, but as I watched for the 7th time (I do procrastinate a little), I realized it was telling me exactly what I needed to learn. I remembered the song at my exams aand didn't passed, obviously, there were plenty more than limits, derivatives and integral. But at least I smiled.
7 years later, I'm still here guys, hope you're all having an awesome career and life.
I first watched this video 5 years ago, and still makes me laugh a lot. I would give it a thousand likes.
you should watch it again now
@@belowaveragearab3212 I will sir
Just make 1000 alternate accounts and like the video on all of those
This video came out when I was six years old. Eleven years later I will take the AP Calculus Exam
love this. I abandoned mathematics for law, and have now concluded that mathematics was more pure and beautiful, but law is more fun. and crazy.
Why :(
it's scary to think that when this video was released, i wasn't alive yet. in two years, i'll understand all of the things this song talks about. time passes. and when i'm in a classroom like this, the thing definitely stuck in my head will be this. thank you.
This comment gave me anxiety. Make time stop, please.
@@jonasstrmgren7326 if it makes you feel better, _I_ was alive when this was posted
@wynnexed_
Don't say that. It reminds me I'm almost a quarter of a century old 😭
nooooooooooo... NONNONNONONO
how old are you?
This song will permanently live rent free in my brain. I remember my brother played it for me and our mom when we were lost in Tennessee. Even though my mom was stressed, she found the song laughed and called it "doopy," a word we used for silly things. I was too young to know what derivatives were, but it still made me happy to listen and see everyone laughing. Even though this channel has long since been dead, I am thankful for the good memory this song gave me. Thank you for making this parody.
Oh wow, my dad uses the word doopy to describe silly things too.
When you realize it's all ogre tomorrow so the best you can do is memorize this song
amen
Ogre
It's never ogre
And this is how my class lost all their sanity points.
Noice number
This is officially the best out of the blue recommendation youtube has ever give me, this is a masterpiece
inspirational. my ap calc teacher showed us this.
12 am. And my professor sent me an email about this.
Listening to this while doing calc homework goes hard
There are no words for how awesome this song is.
Me - *falling and falling in the rabbit hole of calc parodies*
I'm a Physics teacher. I showed this to my students during a lecture and they loved it.
This video is so much fun that I've watched it over and over. I sent the link to my Calculus teacher and he's going to let the entire class watch it. I'm sure everyone's going to get a kick out of it. From one Calculus fan to another--thanks a million!
Are you deprived from the derives
299 people don't know how to take derivatives.
its more like 99% of earth xD
UnicornArmy PvP
It's not at all difficult and is taught rather early at schools, at least in the somewhat developed countries.
UnicornArmy PvP I'm proud to say that I belong to that other 1%
+waffledude111111 This implication is wrong.
true
I remember watching this in my AP Calc BC class in high school 5 years ago. What a throw back. You guys are awesome
How did RUclips find this masterpiece 15 years later? I’m impressed, RUclips was quite a different place back then.
This is the single greatest thing I have EVER come across!!!
How'd they dance on a calculator bruh
ikr wtf
Especially since this was back in 2008
You could just convert images frame by frame to monochromatic bitmaps but I'm assuming they used a more efficient method than that; perhaps a filter.
Looks good though.
Can't they just make video with dancing, make it looks like on the calculator and than use video montage?
@@artemkorotenko666 this* was like 13 years ago lol
Got recommended this in 2023. Probably didn't come across it earlier, probably cos when it came it out I hadn't learned calculus yet. Glad to have found it now.
I listen to this song to pump me up before exams! You guys are getting me through my Engineering degree
I just want to know what great things these two guy's went on to do.
From another comment: "I was their calculus teacher. The one with the curly hair went to the University of Oklahoma and went on to Carnegie Mellon and got his masters. He could have went anywhere he wanted and majored in anything he wanted, but his love was film and I believe that is what he majored in. The other young man went to the University of Arkansas and got his degree in Electrical Engineering, and he is now a proud dad. The girl that made a cameo in now an instructor at Northeastern State University. All were fantastic students and great kids."
derive, obviously...
This will always be a classic.
I am especially appreciative of the large CRT TV on the rolling metal cart in the background, and the VCR on the shelf below. 😎
These guys are definitely at MIT now
Derek Clarke lol if them taking Calculus in high school brings them to MIT - where do I go for taking differential equations + linear algebra? :^)
+FreeCpRareAccounts1 Community college :P
Derek Clarke For suer.
+FreeCpRareAccounts1 Depends on circumstances. I was doing multi variable calculus and thermodynamics during high school. I go to community college, go figure.
UnforsakenXII Finances > academics in the education system. That's why I don't like the stigma of community colleges, people always assume those attending them are stupid. That definitely does apply to some of the students, but there are definitely students who are smart.
This was genuinely inspiring. THANK YOU.
Oh my gosh, this bangs. Writing, singing and performance is all good. Especially the writing.
Listened to this before my AP Calc test
Did you get THE 5
@@shadowstorm1657 hell yeah I did!
HAHAHAHHAHAA
OMG I LOVE THIS!
I'm learning physics and we showed this in class.
The teacher had to leave the classroom, he was laughing so hard
,
I watched this video for the first time when I was still at high school, it's been like 10 years, now I'm thinking of showing this to my math students!
0:57 Man, that orange shirt guy is Grooving!!
This song is better than the original.
I wish I could like this more than once
We watched this video as a 'treat' before exams! Gave our maths class a great laugh! This is just so damn brilliant! Really well done! The lyrics are perfect! =D
This was amazing, and changed my life. I wish I could have done this or been a part of something this big, somehow, in my life. Thank you for this.
yo this vid is really hella well made so props to you and hella nice and ya!!! hella job. hella.
This is delightful, thank you, a bit of lightness within the math
you know a song is good when you CANNOT stop singing it in your head... great job.
greatest piece of lyrical genius known to mankind
Tears are streaming down my face. I sent this to no less than 3 friends instantaneously
That is incredible! Such a brilliant song, i'm amazed how you actually got the lyrics to work with the music.
This goes so fuckin hard
I'm two and a half weeks into Calc I...you have no idea how happy this made me. 2:30 is brilliant.
This makes me actually want to do my practice i love you
Our AP Calc teacher sent this to us today on our last day of school. We've had her for all 4 years of high school and we all cried.
This is awesome ^_^ My calculus teacher showed this to the class one day, my friend and I loved it! Great job.
I remember way back when I took Calc how tricky those kinds of problems seemed but child's play. all the equations i use now are derived (but not derivatives) Love the video, good job.
Love this video and the effort that went through it.
showing this to my calc teacher tomorrow. thank you more making calc less painful with this song. :)
The writing here is GREAT.
This video always makes me smile when I'm doing MIT level physics problems.
My new favorite RUclips video... How am I just now discovering this?
This should be inducted in the National Recording Registry
So this is what the mathematicians do on Saturday night
Oh, man - this reminds me of my first physics-test. I felt so lost. (Especially since the questions were in secondary norwegian - noes!) Great video - love the dancing! :'D

wonderful information, I had come to know about your blog from my friend nandu , hyderabad,i have read atleast 7 posts of yours by now, and let me tell you, your website gives the best and the most interesting information. This is just the kind of information that i had been looking for, i'm already your rss reader now and i would regularly watch out for the new posts, once again hats off to you! Thanks a ton once again, Regards,
Saw this as a kid and thought it was funny. Now seeing it before I fail the class a second time I’m crying 😩
This is absolutely fantastic.
HAH omg I love this!
Whenever I derive now, I will totally be singing this.
This video is awesome !! The best math parody of a song :) I like the profesionnal quality of it.
absolute masterpiece.
their editing is ahead of its time
That guy at the back just dancing!
Bravo. A masterpiece. Or should I say mathsterpiece? Loved the guy with the fro dancing in the back!
If I had a dollar for every calculus parody song I've heard this year, I'd have $4. If it counted for every play of said songs, closer to $20 lol
Well made and still holds up, y'all did great!
How am I only finding this 14 years after the fact
OMG MY PHYSICS TEACHER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS VIDEO AND NOW I LOVE IT
DUDE this is totally freaking awesome :D
This should totally go viral lol.
I’ve never taken Calculus, and I don’t plan on ever taking it (going into my senior year of hs now), but I still come back to this and re-watch it every once in a while. A true classic.
well? did you end up taking it?
@@kylewaddle7592 I’m entering my senior year of college now, and somehow ended up falling into a Cell and Molecular Bio major. So yes, unfortunately - I had to take calc I and II :’)
It was probably so hard to edit a video like this back in 2008!?? wow
This song (and the guy who suddenly started dancing in the background) were hilarious... Everybody in the video thought that those two were insane....Somebody in my Calc class told me about this before a test on optimization and curve sketching...Its the hilarious Differential Calculus Bible in song form--Loved it
.
Revising for my maths exam next week. This video has made brightened up my life! Thank you! :D
I found this today and I am extremely happy, how has the algorithm kept such a master peice from me for so long?
This. This is amazing. My Precalculus teacher actually gave my class an extra credit assignment based on this video! This made my day. xD

This was an awesome parody, not to mention a very well-done video. Math is my favorite school subject, too bad I am no good at it:( I like to try to minimize usage of a calculator -- I like to use my head as my calculator as much as I can. I am considering pursuing a degree in mathematics...
